The PNP is making its efforts to be a more responsive to the need of the times, after the police received criticisms from human rights groups due to the reported abuses, which was more highlighted when Police Senior Master Sergeant Roland Von Madrona attempted to arrest Javier Parra inside a private village in Makati city.

The arrest was supposed o be against Parra’s househelp which was watering the plants without wearing a mask outside the residence.
